Now that i have listened to your video, I realise that I have been learning Brazilian Portuguese on Duo Lingo. It's MASSIVELY DIFFERENT FROM EUROPEAN!! I am heartbroken to realise I have wasted a month learning the wrong pronunciations and vocabulary. I must now start over. However, I am super happy I found you. Such clear explanations and very logically laid out.
Hi, you didn't lose your time because it's the same language. Only some words are different and some letter combinations are read differently. That's the same language, two different variations. You can learn Brazilian and speak Brazilian in Portugal and vice versa. However, I would suggest you to focus on one version and stick to it just to avoid the confusion.
This is the big problem, Duo has Brazilian Portuguese, which is quite different in terms of pronunciation from the European one, and unfortunately, most of the learning materials out there focus on Brazilian Portuguese 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I was literally learning Brazilian Portuguese 24/7 on Duolingo. But now, I don't even use that app, I listen and learn from Maria.
This is by far the best European Portuguese content I have ever found on UA-cam, thank youuuuu verrry Much because content on European Portuguese is very rare....This makes a big difference ..once again thank you🙏🙏
@@portuguesewithmaria excellent 👌💯 excitement Portuguese language ❣️ speaking, Can u plz get vlog of front desk department of hotel industry like what they called for pen,paper,computer,cash,debit/credit card, number all 1-100, etc,. Awaiting for your reply Asap ❤️❤️❤️
Obrigado professora! This was a great video! I think the hardest thing so far is my mouth gets tired quickly from new pronunciation haha. Thank you so much! Ate a proxima!
I really appreciate this course. Now a days it is rare to see someone generous enough to have a whole planned course on UA-cam. Thank you for making learning Portuguese so easy and accessible.
Maria, this is the best Portuguese lessons on UA-cam, you make it so easy to understand with your lessons, I wish I had found these lessons sooner. Just want to say a big thank you and please keep your lessons going.
@@portuguesewithmaria you focus on what I ( I believe most of us students) need..my late French teacher was very big on pronunciation and today am fluent in French, speaking like a French native yet am from an English speaking country
The best European Portuguese lessons in YT channel. Very practical way of teaching with many useful expressions for start. Thank you for your effort and promoting European Portuguese. Muito obrigado 🙂
Thank you so much Maria for these videos❤❤ Your Portuguese is really fluent and now, I can't stop wathing your videos. They are so informative and fun to learn. Once again, thank you so much for the hard work you put into these videos. Love you❤❤❤😊😊 Also, in this video, you mentioned my name Sara!!!!
Ola, respected Teacher, I am Rajneesh from Chandigarh, India. I am grateful to you, I can understand your lessons very easily. I am learning Portuguese day by day. Obrigado
Maria, I am a newbie of Portuguese language and I am going to attend a PhD class in Portugal. I feel like I am the luckiest student to know your channel. Thank you very much and best wishes! Love from Vietnam!
Maria, I find you to be so calm, so empathetic to those of us trying to learn Euro Portuguese. The most difficult thing is understanding Portuguese speakers. You slow it down and explain the blended shortcuts fast speakers use. Obrigada!
This is my new favorite playlist! My Wife and I are visiting Portugal next December and want to be proficient enough to not struggle through our three weeks there. Thank you for these videos!
Finally I can start to learn European Portuguese, so I can speak with one of my fellow students in her native language. Thank you so much for your content. It is so great and fairly easy to follow along. 😀
Wow! Hat's off to you (as we say in England, when very impressed) You are a great teacher with clear diction and just the right amount of repetition. Please keep it up, many thanks
Thank you very much. Though I have Iberian ancestry, I have been studying Portuguese since March 2023. My family has subcribed your channel. Most of your videos include phonetics and subtitles, which is different from other channels. Phonetics is the most important factor to determine a person’s listening skill. You are born to be a language teacher.
This is my second day studying Portuguese. Already such a beautiful language. I am English but I already speak exvellent French, good Italian and basic Spanish. Many of the words are so familiar. I'm sure i will enjoy this! Great lesson ❤
Honestly I'm so glad I found your channel, I've been wanting to study a third language for a long time (I'm Romanian) and I found Portuguese to be quite attractive, however all I could find was Brazilian Portuguese content, including Duolingo (which tbh got very repetitive and boring quite fast) so thanks for sharing these lessons, they're very useful. I've saved the playlist and will go through all of it. Até já!
Again many thanks! I'm happy to find clear, efective and not too long 😊 classes in european portuguese! It helps me a lot because I study myself and it's not easy use right pronunciation.
You do such an excellent job of breaking things down. It was a bit fast for me. Not enough time to repeat. But it’s ok I’ll rewatch several times to really learn it.
Hello Maria! It is so nice to learn from your UA-cam lessons. I am happy that I have found you as a teacher. Thank you for your effort, professionalism and kindness!
@@portuguesewithmaria Thank you Maria for your response. I really appreciate it. I am beginner and started only few months ago learning Portuguese because I dream to go on Caminho Portuguese next year. I know that I can use my English but I felt in love with Portuguese language. I try to use Duolingo and some audio tools tools to learn it but now, with your UA-cam lessons it is like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Something interesting is that as a Romanian native speaker I discover every day similitudes between the two Romanic languages, that go beyond their Latin roots. I have found that the one of the Roman legions that occupied the Dacia (Romanian people ancestor country) was the legion VII Gemina. This was formed and is originated from Lusitania. So it is an other incentive for me. I like very much your lessons as said. I am a semi retired person but I will support your channel as much as I can. All the best and good health . Hear/see you soon!
I’m new in Portugal & trying to learn Portuguese. Your videos are very helpful,you explain really simple & effective way.please keep uploading. Muito Obrigado!
Amazing Content for Portuguese learners. Thank You Ms Maria for such great lessons. Here are the answers for the questions asked in video: Dialogue with an employee and director Empregado :Bom dia Senor Diretor. Como está? Diretor :Estou bem e contigo? EmpregadoTambém, obrigado. Empregado:Tem uma bom dia. Diretor : Obrigado, bom dia,Adeus . Dialogue with friend Laurent :Olá Max. Tudo bem? Max :Não está mal. É tu? Laurent :Sou bem, obrigado. Max :Até já! Laurent :Tchau ! Let me know if there are any mistakes.
Obrigada for the amazing video! 😊 When I greet my boss: Olá, Senhor, como está? When I greet my friend: Olá, como estás? I hope I did it right... Até já!
